UNSPSC 50366702: Canned or jarred june bearing strawberries

The variety of strawberries known as june bearing strawberries that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50366702 Canned or jarred June bearing strawberries is a Commodity code that covers shelf-stable preserved strawberry products—both canned and jarred formats—procured by state and local food service operations. Recent state and local solicitations under this code reflect demand from institutional dining and nutrition programs, though strawberries are typically one line item within broader food-supply buys rather than the subject of standalone procurement. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code span county school systems, state departments of corrections, state health and human services agencies, municipal school districts, and county boards of education. Most activity centers on food service for K–12 school nutrition programs, state-supported living centers, state hospitals, and correctional facilities. Buyers include Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Austin Independent School District (Texas), the Oregon Department of Corrections, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, the State of Illinois, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia), the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases (Connecticut), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Comptroller of Public Accounts.

Geographic concentration is strongest in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, and Connecticut, with scattered activity across other states. Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce for the 2026–27 school year (bid due June 26, 2026), which itemized berries including strawberries among over 200 line items of fresh and frozen produce; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables (bid due March 19, 2026, with a potential contract value of $4.5 million over three years) covering fresh, frozen, and canned fruits and vegetables; and the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITBs for canned fruit applesauce (bid due June 2, 2026, and July 31, 2026) representing the type of preserved fruit procurement common in state corrections. Strawberries appear most frequently within mixed commodity food buys rather than as dedicated line items, and recent opportunities show buyers accepting both brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications with firm fixed pricing and FOB destination delivery terms to institutional receiving points.
